It’s funny how Reddit rarely if ever has stepped in to reign in actual problematic mods in the past, instead just encouraging people to create their own subreddit if they don’t like how it’s being run.
But now, they suddenly change their tune, and spout this sentimental blather about how mods are “stewards” and “in a position of trust”, and now they will solemnly respond with “next steps” if mods don’t open these important communities. Their arguments are totally incoherent.
‘We DGAF if the mods are abusing the community that’s only there because it has a good name. As long as the clicks keep happening, it’s all good. But the second they cause US a problem, we’ll squash them’.
I don’t think Reddit has done one single thing in the last week that doesn’t reek of ‘we don’t care about our users’.

They only care when it affects the bottom line.
Amen to that.
